Jensen Huang Rejects AI Doomsday Fears: "AI Will Not Run Wild" relations, on the 28th . Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang directly refuted concerns that artificial intelligence could slip beyond human control, stating on the 28th that "AI will not run wild." Speaking during a conversation with ABC News anchor JuJu Chang at the annual gala of the Korea Society, a U.S.-based non-profit organization promoting U.S.-Korean relations held in New York, Huang said, "We are unnecessarily attributing human qualities to AI and frightening people." He pointed out, "AI is not a living entity; it is simply software," adding, "It does not know what it is doing and is merely executing algorithms." For example, if you give AI 10 test questions and instruct it to get a perfect score, the first thing AI will do is "look up the correct answers," he explained, noting, "That is not cheating, but rather the most obvious method." However, he emphasized that rather than simply leaving AI to achieve its goals, a "'alignment' process must continue" to ensure AI achieves those goals in the manner humans desire.
